Firefighters called to Chirk Castle after fire breaks out in machinery
Firefighters were called to tackle a fire at Chirk Castle today.
Three crews from the North Wales Fire Service were called to the Grade I listed Chirk Castle at around 1.30pm on Monday.
A spokesperson from the fire service said the fire was "accidental" and took place inside a hopper.
The crews used a thermal imaging camera, shovels, buckets and a hose reel jet to tackle the blaze.

The medieval castle in the Welsh Marches is owned and run by the National Trust. The trust has been approached for comment.
